About Us

Mike and Melinda purchased the Emmaville Store in November 2010 and reopened for business in January 2011. The store has been in existence over 70 years and is the last remnant of the town of Emmaville, which dates back to the logging days (1900-1910) in northern Minnesota.
This blog is a collection of stories about our efforts to get the store reopened and get to know the folks in the surrounding area. Ultimately, the blog is about creating and sustaining community.
